I predict “July Fry” will end up a misnomer for the SE. Mark my words. Near normal July temperatures for the SE coming with near to wetter than normal/humid dominating. Soils are too wet for any big heatwaves. The main heat will be out west and to the north. Maybe @Dewpoint Dan and good chance @Webberweather53 and that Montana poster end up with a hot month.

Do you have KATLs heatwave data handy? I'm wondering if heat in GA, AL, TN, MS has a different mechanism where NC and much of SC aren't as hot

I’d wager at least parts of Georgia share their hottest temps in similar setups to us . Far north eastern , eastern Georgia perhaps . Atlanta South and sw probably not .

1) Not sure what your idea of "fast" is, for many areas it started back in April and hasn't gone bye bye just yet
2) All chips in the middle on the 3k NAM, I've seen worse wagers but also seems I've read these comments before
3) Definitely getting a tropical system in here next week? Got those lotto numbers?
4) Never mind.....

Except for a dry slot forming in the northern half of Forsyth county, which happens to be where I live. That dry slot is showing in an area that's 4"-6" below normal for the last 90 days. And with my luck, it'll get in that minimum.

1. The worst drought we’ve really had show up is D2 in small areas and we’ve maintained just a slight as normally dry drought for this entire time … not that lethal of a thing
2. Not all my chips ..here are the cams along with the most recent HRRR and most recent Fv3 high res which show all across the board a widespread 1-2 inches with many places receiving pockets of 3-4 inches as well. A widespread 1-2 inches is a beautiful thing for a drought that’s only abnormally dry. Also Fv3 wasn’t done running yet 23A962D4-33AC-43F7-AFD2-992049985D78.jpeg0DC107E0-AFA5-419A-99D8-001C0C27AE13.jpeg6E5DB1C6-2762-463A-9F7B-48D980D89EE8.jpegE8F64457-C1BE-42B0-AF3C-66BCC48EA797.jpeg
3. I’m not saying we’re definitely getting a tropical system next week but several models have a lot of ensemble tracks that pull it in our direction .. whatever the system may be it’ll bring tropical moisture with it and if we’re lucky that would certainly put drought to
Bed if it wasn’t already … abnormally dry ain’t that bad it could be severely worse! ??‍♂️

Tomorrow looks great for rainfall but in addition to the U. S. Drought monitor map posted above, here is the departure from normal over last 90 days. Trust me there are some hoping tomorrow isn't a let down....

Indeed. It's a hard time of the year to overcome dry conditions as we are maxed out on our usage side of the water budget. A inch of rain tomorrow will be great things will be green, crops will get some water but it's can kicking and maintenence. Much rather have a week of scattered to numerous storms to get 2 or 3 rains to recharge versus 1 rain then 5-7 days of nada.

Look at it this way each day .15-.2 of water is used/lost if we get 1 inch of rain it's gone in 5-7 days. It's hard to make up multi inch deficits when you are equalling your use. I received 5 inches of rain in June my yard used/lost 4.5-6 inches of rain in the month, I broke even, given the dry April/May my 90 day budget is negative hence the d0-1 around. I get 1 inch of rain tomorrow good, by 7/6 if I get no more rain my net is 0 I'm "dry" again

True true true .. good explanation .. I think we get more than 1 though but of course we’ve been through this rodeo before so I’ll believe the numbers when I see them … also that 5-7 day end period would probably be around when we could possibly get that tropical whatever from Elsa … we’ve had good luck so far this year .. let’s keep it rolling

If we get multiple inches that'll certainly be helpful. I personally think Elsa goes ots

Just remember, when he speaks of "drought", he means the dust bowl death to scorpion droughts that persist underneath the mega heat dome of doom not this penny ante abnormally dry crap.
